Rong Zhao (赵容)
I will join the Department of Civil Engineering at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) in Spring 2027 as a PhD student in Traffic and Transportation Engineering, co-supervised by Prof. Jintao Ke and Prof. S. C. Wong.
I received my Master of Research in Urban Spatial Science (MRes) from University College London in September 2026 and my Bachelor of Architecture from Tsinghua University in 2025.
My research interests include traffic behaviour modelling, transport resilience, and LLMs for urban science.
I welcome all forms of collaboration.
